oh, and as if it weren’t already obvious; everyone is a fucking critic these days, and too often for no justifiable reason.

too many comments to read them all, but it’s quite possible that for space sake, since the column width would limit long words in a headline, that the state name was contracted. That apostrophe serves double duty, as indicator of a possessive pronoun AND that the pronoun was a contraction.

The fact is, no one DIDN’T understand what was being communicated. (Sorry for the double negative.)

Actually being from “Mis’sippi”, I feel I can justifiably say that what we actually say is Mississippi, with very little emphasis on the second syllable, so that it comes out fast and soft. Ergo, the author of this article is just a common idiot. Which, it may surprise you, is common amongst reporters.

At school in Canada, we used to sit and chant the spelling to get it into our heads, it’s a tough one to spell. EM-AYE-ESS-ESS-I-ESS-ESS-I-PI-PI-AYE! Yes, i still remember that…
